That still doesn't explain strange sentences in the article such as" > Why does the brain need billions of neurons to process 10 bits/s? Maybe the article is being intentionally disingenuous here? The brain is definitely not processing 10 bits/s, maybe a small part of it is. I'd also say that you can make very complicated problems with only 10 bits of input (e.g. calculating busy-beaver of N), so "processing X bits" where X is a small value is no guarantee that this should be doable with a low amount of processing anyway.
